Robbie Williams is helping pal Mark Owen with drink problem

Robbie’s been checked into rehab twice to deal with his own substance abuse demons and is a recovering alcoholic himself.

Chatting about “the most difficult time of my life”, 38-year-old Mark explained that he’s been secretly battling with a booze problem for ten years or more â but he’s not using it as an excuse for cheating on wife Emma before they were married.

“Maybe the drink was my way of dealing with the guilt, I don’t know… it hasn’t helped, but I’m not blaming everything on it.”

After his 33-year-old wife – and mum of his two kids – demanded Mark get help, the singer sought professional therapy and turned to bandmates Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Jason Orange for support.

“I told the lads a few weeks ago that I am trying to deal with a drink problem. I spoke to Rob about it, too,” he confirmed to The Sun.

“I’ve always tried not to involve anyone else, including the boys. Maybe the lads might have suspected sometimes.”

Mark, who’s admitted to being “a prat”, was papped yesterday entering his marital home for crisis talks with Emma.
